Abstract

Schools across the United States are placing an increased emphasis on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). School librarians, therefore, are working to discover ways of implementing STEM curricula in their libraries. This research paper is a review of the literature associated with this topic, which indicates that, in spite of challenges that librarians face in the process of STEM implementation, there are multiple reasons why it is an important mission to undertake. The paper concludes with specific methods that school librarians have taken to bring STEM into their libraries in meaningful new ways.
